The Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party, Richard Ahiagbah, has revealed a directive from former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to government appointees, urging their full compliance.
According to Ahiagbah, the former president has instructed all appointees to make themselves available for accountability to the ruling government and to cooperate with any investigations that may arise.
He reaffirmed Akufo-Addo’s dedication to ensuring that appointees uphold the law and take responsibility for their actions and records. Ahiagbah emphasized that all appointees are expected to maintain the highest standards of accountability.
He further assured that the appointees would be accessible to address any matters related to accountability.
“Matters to do with accountability, our people will be here to answer them. In fact, there is an effective commitment right from the former president himself. He has given directives to ensure that our people are available to do that.
“I don’t want to go into the details of what he said but there is that disposition and indication from him [Akufo-Addo] that we should stay and account for our record,” he told JoyNews on February 19, 2025.
The NPP stalwart added that former President Akufo-Addo firmly believes that his government prioritised the country’s interests and successfully fulfilled its mandate, asserting that posterity will judge his actions and tenure.
“He is clear in his mind that we came to do the best we can and I believe that when the dust settles, Ghana will see what we have done for the 8 years.”
